Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0142493A2] The invention relates to a method for the parallel detection of the degree of methylation of genomic DNA wherein the following the steps are performed: (a) chemical treatment at the 5' position of non-methylated cytosine bases converts said bases into uracil, thymidine or another base which exhibits hybridization behavior different to that of cytosine in a genomic DNA sample; (b) more than ten different fragments, each having less than 2000 base pairs in said chemically treated genomic DNA sample, are amplified simultaneously using synthetic oligonucleotides as a primer, whereby said primers each contain genomic sequences which are involved in gene regulation and/or transcribed and/or translated, such as those sequences which should be obtained after execution of steps (a); (c) the sequence contexts of all or a portion of the CpG dinucleotides or CpNpG trinucleotides contained in the amplified fragments are determined.
